SCHENECTADY -- Police Friday afternoon were questioning two men and a woman after the discovery of a handgun in a driveway and a marijuana-growing operation at home on the north side, police spokesman Lt. Mark McCracken said.

At 11:55, police responded to a call of shots fired at a home on the 1600 block of Carrie Street where they later found the gun, McCracken said. He said as part of the police probe officers went to 1643 Van Vranken Avenue.

After getting the owner's permission to search the residence, police found pot plants that were being grown there, said McCracken.

"The involvement of those we detained is unknown at this time," said McCracken of the three people in custody.
